If you didn't change the slope of the line, but you moved it
down 6 units on the graph, then its y-intercept would become
6 less. The equation of the new line would be ...
y = 1/3 x - 16 .
Hi!
1/4 of 20 pencils are 5 pencils.
Since he gave away 4 pencils,
Total = 5 + 4 = 9
Mr. Simms use and give away total 9 pencils.
If you would like to solve the equation - 2/5 * x + 6 = 8, you can do this using the following steps:
- 2/5 * x + 6 = 8
- 2/5 * x = 8 - 6
- 2/5 * x = 2 /*(-5/2)
x = 2 * (- 5/2)
x = - 5
The correct result would be -5.
